At a time when forces of destruction are sweeping the surface of the earth, plunging the whole of the human race into a state of chaos and dismay and uprooting its time-honoured institutions, the comparatively small Baha'i community is erecting the framework of new institutions embracing the whole planet and designed to evolve, in the fullness of time, into Baha'u'llah's New World Order. In this thoughtful book Adib Taherzadeh traces the origin of the Baha'i Administrative Order outlines the spiritual standards and principles that govern the workings of the Spiritual Assembly emphasizes the importance of understanding the spirit of the Administrative Order and of conforming to it describes the gradual unfoldment of the administrative institutions of the Baha'i Faith and provides insights into the role of the individual members of these institutions - the Trustees of the Merciful."

Lasting marriages are built one defining moment at a time. The moment of blame. The moment of weakness. When your spouse suffers. When dreams disappoint. When the kids leave the nest. It's how we think and behave toward one another in moments like these that determines whether our marriage endures or falters. Ultimately, these are invitations from God to consider our direction and pursue transformation. With 37 years of marriage and 33 years of pastoring under his belt, Dave Harvey has identified those life-defining moments of a post-newlywed marriage. He wants to help couples recognize them in their own relationships so that they can take a proactive, godly approach to resolving conflicts, holding one another up as change inevitably happens, and ensuring that their marriage survives and thrives. Whether your relationship is maturing gracefully, just needs a tune-up, or you and your spouse are locked in conflict and your future seems uncertain, Dave Harvey has encouragement and practical tools to help strengthen what remains and build a rock-solid union for the days to come.
